How much is that irrational fear worth to you? In the end that's the question that needs answering. Very soon, you'll be paying extra to buy a petrol vehicle. And that's before you drive it anywhere and get to deal with taxes, fuel cost, and maintenance cost as well.

In any case, a typical EV would have about 50KWH of battery; more than enough to power a house for a while. The more EVs there are, the more stored KWH of energy will be around in any area if a blackout happens. Much more useful than oversized SUVs burning up all the remaining fuel in your area while fuel logistics are being disrupted.

For your parents, an EV and vehicle to grid technology could have seen them through those 3 days. More, if you drive it to some fast charging access point in between to top it up for 10$. It's perfect especially for remote setups. Add some solar panels to the mix and you are basically not dependent on the grid.
If you go read the court testimony it isn’t as strange as it seems on the face. The diver started the tiff and the insult Musk sent in return was said to be common vernacular in South Africa where he grew up.
Tesla might actually say: "Everybody, we need to push end of quarter sales. You gotta release the FSD as it is. App team, you gotta implement some butt purchase button for FSD that has no undo. Thanks."
Probably a big reason why Linux is successful in attracting contributions; the distributed copyright means that there's nobody more equal among equals that has the sole right to monetize it however they see fit. Everybody gets the same deal.
There is “force being applied” in the form of EU fleet-wide emissions requirements.

Automakers must sell increasing numbers of full electric and/or hybrid vehicles in order to meet their emissions targets, otherwise they face potentially huge fines.
This actually surprised me, as I would have guessed it would have been closer to Intel, to make use of infrastructure already in place..

Also, not sure how the jobs will break down, but when I was at Intel, techs actually working in the clean rooms were not making anywhere near 6 figures. They commonly told me, they were just there for the stock.

There is no challenge reconciling imperfect FSD with high trust of that FSD.

When I decided to play the game of risk minimisation, I sold my car. Minimising risk isn't the most important goal of drivers, almost by definition. Cars are not safe in any objective sense. They are tools of convenience.

A fun hypothetical, you and a good friend get tested for spatial intelligence and it turns out there was a big difference in your favour - how big does the difference need to be before you tell your friend you are no longer comfortable letting them drive when you are in the car?

> Integer counts and succession seem like human constructs to me.

There's definitely some "elementary" mathematical concepts that seem native to our universe. For example, in outer space stuff tends to come together in ways that approximates spheres. We see lattices in crystalline solids all the time. There's naturally-occurring fractals all over the place. The existence of fractals -- snowflakes, trees, broccoli -- seems to "embed" a successor (to iterate over generations), so I'm not sure if it's a human construct.

The most popular food is fast food. That is the end game. The most popular computer programs will be distractions, we are already there, nothing much will change with respect to personal computing. Next step is a decent AI, before then things will continue to look like now. Or more realistically if food is anything to go by, we will just get more and more information fat just like we got physically fatter, so we aren't "there" yet, it is going to get worse.
For me it was a matter of cost, there were lots of inexpensive used ICE cars with AWD but no electric ones. The cheapest AWD Tesla seems to be $47k new which is vastly more than most people spend on a car.
I feel like the reason there is a demand for applications like this is not to prevent all cheating but to enable the school / Uni to claim that anti cheating measures where used for online testing.

Your first and second paragraph contradict each other. Even though Toyota doesn't offer a single BEV in their lineup, they are completely fine with the stricter emission standards.

Nobody is forcing anyone to sell BEVs, what is forced is efficiency. Full BEV is only one way to achieve that goal. Look at Hyundai Ioniq hybrid - a perfectly capable midsize family car, affordable, introduced to the market in 2017. It will meet emission standards all the way until 2029.

You are right, it's just like real estate investment, but using speculative tokens that have no intrinsic value.

It's like you take the housing part out of the housing bubble, and are left with the speculative aspect, the bubble.
Depends, if they are planning to run a taxi fleet or restrict themselves to new personal vehicles, integration and operational costs for ICE vehicles is likely going to be higher than EVs in a couple of years. There is little common between the vehicle dynamics and control for ICE and Electric vehicles, and it might be more practical to focus on one platform.
"Somewhere" isn't good enough!

Arcticbull was very clever to check the Bahamain government report. It's interesting to see how much money can be laundered and hidden, but $10bn starts to be noticeable.

Are you talking about sentiments families of victims usually express or sentiments you think they should have?
Of course we're talking about real laws, and how the expression relates to them. Relating to real laws doesn't mean the expression is a real law.

>>Fortunately contracts cases literally all have that evidence, because being owed something under a contract IS a better right than possession, and lack of evidence of possession is never the problem.

I see, that makes sense. I think in many cases though, the smart contract will be the dominant contract, and a traditional contract will be poorly drafted, or costs of litigating will discourage contract participants from doing so. Which again is why I predict smart contracts will continue to have value in the face of the potentially conflicting jurisdiction of traditional contract law.

>>your point about multi-jurisdiction FOSS arrangements would be better if you identified conflict of laws and other jurisdictional issues as preventing people making claims at all

Yes that is what I mean: I think it can be reasonably assumed that there would often be more factors, relating to conflicts of laws and the additional complexity of dealing with multiple legal processes, preventing or discouraging people from making legal claims when the arrangement is multi-jurisdictional. There are yet more when participants to an arrangement are pseudonymous, and the arrangement is not bound by a strong traditional contract.

>>It is merely coincidental that the people who currently have it retain it, it is not an instance of the possession dominating phenomenon.

Fair point. My point I guess is that if the traditional legal system fails to be useful, then being in possession of an asset will often be advantageous, and therefore smart contracts which assign possession will often be impactful.

In conclusion, I see your point, that when there is a traditional contract in place, and when a party to it does make a legal claim relating to it, possession will not impact the judgment of the court. My initial comment implies otherwise.
Those are not even remotely the same... That Waymo video has been pre-mapped. To infer that Waymo in 2012-2009 can go from point A to B anywhere in the U.S. like FSD Beta is patently false.

No, the fediverse has at least one per instance, often more. I would even go as far saying the fedi has more mods per users. They're still only mods, for the instance they're on, though.

static JObject CreateMessageRepresentation(Customer customer)

return new JObject(

new JObject(

new JProperty("zipCode", customer.Address.Zip),
new JProperty("town", customer.Address.City)
)
)
)
)
)
}

Yuck.

Just make CustomerData and AddressData classes, even if you only use them for that one API response. And even if you have ten other versions of CustomerData and AddressData for ten other methods. You get type safety and your tests refactor nicely.

@Value
static class AddressData {
String street;
String zipCode;
String town;
}

@Value
static class CustomerData {
String name;
AddressData address;
}

@Value
static class Message {
CustomerData customer;
}

public Message createMessage(Customer customer) {
final Address addy = customer.getAddress();
return new Message(new CustomerData(customer.getName(), new AddressData(addy.getStreet(), addy.getZip(), addy.getCity())));
}

You could format this nicer, and adding some constructors would help, but at least the typechecker is doing work for you.
I explicitly am against the calls to guillotine him. So here, we are in perfect agreement. He's a human being and should be treated with dignity, and he's far from being the very worst out there.

These are social and political problems, you can't fix them by sitting in your basement writing copyleft code anymore than you fix them by writing permissively licensed code.

It's not like the FAANG's of the world would go, oh no we really want to use this copyleft library, oh well, let's release all our code under a copyleft license as well. They'd just use some other code with a more permissive license, or then they would reimplement the needed functionality themselves.

Toyota now sells the full-electric Lexus UX 300e in Europe, so it’s no longer true that they “don’t offer a single BEV”.
Yeah, it would be great if the vaccine does prevent spread, but we should act like it doesn't until we know more.

As someone mentioned upthread, Israel will be an early indicator here.

This type of comment is pretty common, but never adds to the discussion. Some things are going to have similar names, and usually it just doesn’t matter.

Take Rust the game and Rust the programming language. How often do people confuse them? I’ve never seen it happen. Never mind the fact that rust

I like the idea, but i feel like it should be dumb-ed down even more.

For simple things I like using next.js with vercel (ex zeit, ex now). You also get simple file-system based routing if you want it (thanks to next.js) and very easy deploy, that is also gets you letsencrypt certificate automatically.
It does not have database part of the story atm, but you can use dynamo/fauna/mongo and alike.

Really simple thing is dark lang though! it has all of these concerns integrated in, have IDE and incremental automatic deployment. Absolutely love it. But it is still quite early beta.

If there's even a rough order to the underlying data, I'll buy their claim. On ordered data, a Postgres block-range index (BRIN) is often several orders of magnitude smaller than a B-tree index.

If the data is random, I suspect you're right and the PGM index is no-better than a B-tree index. Most data does have an order and would probably see similar gains.

This question can be applied to any concept and to me it translates roughly to "is language a good representation of reality?"

The answer I like: any model that is useful for practical applications I consider being real. You only have to remember that it is a model and thus has serious limitations. Take it out of context of the application is has been designed for and turns to nonsense immediately. So you must be careful to strictly limit model usage. But the same limitations also make it possible to attack any concept with solipsism / deconstructionism - which is a mistake in the opposite direction imo. Guess this is enlightenment vs postmodernism.

I'm talking about the targets for emissions across the entire fleet, not for the emissions of individual models.

Volkswagen must sell BEVs to meet its fleet emissions standards. Unfortunately for them, they missed their 2020 target so they will be paying a fine:

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-emissions-idUS...

Volkswagen doesn't want to waste money on fines so they've made a big commitment to EVs. They've become the biggest BEV maker in Europe and in time they'll be the biggest BEV maker world wide, which isn't that surprising. Volkswagen owns 12 automotive brands and they're the world's biggest car company.

You might be interested in the univalent foundations approach, where the idea is that mathematics is fundamentally the study of equivalences between constructions, and equivalences themselves are first-class objects that are just as easy to talk about as any other mathematical object.

At least with cryptocurrency speculation people aren't forced into slums or worse.
On one hand, yes, you are right. This "it's turtles all the way down" approach regarding valuation of tokenized assets is a huge source of systemic risk and those that want to be able to get greenbacks will be better off by using centralized stable tokens (like Circle's USDC or STASIS' EURS)

On the other hand, any project that can be transparent about its reserves (whether though "smart contracts" or plain old armies of bean counters writing actual compliant reports to Uncle Sam) is welcome by my book. Anything that can take the influence and dominance from Tether in the crypto market should be brought to the table and considered for analysis.

> The only purpose of this currency is to enrich those who invented it.

Isn't that exactly what's happening with the existing relationship between governments, their central banks and the financial elites?

I'm not a fan of Reserve either, much less of this Silicon Valley idea of governance, but as long as they they make good on their deals and make their money by providing stability in exchange of absorbing risks, I don't see anything immoral or unethical about the fact that private individuals and organizations can go on to try to create an alternative to central banks.
It's a safety reason. If the company disconnect the grid upstream to work on it, and your house is still powering it, they have a problem. You need extra equipment to automatically disconnect the house from the grid too.

Wow! Accounting fraud? You do realise that if you kept personal accounts and you lent money to me, you would post exactly the same journals as the bank because you are carrying out exactly the same operation. The only difference between you and the bank is that the bank’s IOU is widely accepted and yours isn’t.

I used to be an advocate of Austrian economics until I worked as a bank auditor and really got to understand operationally how they work. Now, I feel the Austrian economist movement has done the world a great disservice and it’s a crying shame because there’s nothing wrong or insidious about banking.

Not only is there a rough order, they explicitly require the ability to meaningfully embed data into the reals, and the performance gains come from assuming those embeddings have simple delta distributions. I wouldn't be surprised if the technique is worse than useless when that assumption is violated.

Edit: I don't have time right now, but a toy example I like to throw at these kinds of problems is mapping primes to their indices (e.g. 2->0, 3->1, 5->2, ...). General-purpose learning algorithms can usually make a little headway with it, but not much, and only with substantial resources thrown at the problem. I'd be shocked if that toy example were any faster with their solution than a b-tree.
